1 Transit - Oriented Development in a Changing Urban Corridor David E. Wohlwill, AICP Port Authority of Allegheny County Rail~Volution Chicago, IL November 7, 2006

2 Martin Luther King, Jr. East Busway

3 East Busway Facts Opened in 1983 and extended in miles, 9 stations and 1 stop Port Authority s busiest BRT facility with 26,700 weekday riders (9/06) Links Downtown and Oakland with Pittsburgh s eastern neighborhoods and suburbs Allows buses to bypass severe congestion on major arterials and streets in Pittsburgh s eastern communities Mixture of express and local service Built along very active railroad line

4 Baum-Centre Corridor

5 Baum - Centre Corridor

6 Baum - Centre Corridor 1.6 miles in length With five neighborhoods interfacing in this corridor, the Baum - Centre Corridor has been dubbed the zipper joining these communities together

7 Early Automobile - Oriented Development By 1913, Baum Boulevard known as automobile row with 13 auto dealers First gasoline filling station in US Source: ExplorePAHistory.com Ford built an automobile assembly plant between Centre Ave. and Baum Blvd. Courtesy of Donald Dougherty

8 Maturing of the Baum - Centre Corridor The Ford plant shut down and many dealers closed Corridor continued to be automobileoriented with gasoline stations, auto parts stores, auto servicing, several remaining dealers and fast-food outlets Perception of the corridor being a noman s land due to the dearth of pedestrian activity and its location at the neighborhoods edges

9 Maturing Corridor Dominated by Automobile-Oriented Uses

10 New Development begins to occur in the Corridor Opening of the Martin Luther King, Jr. East Busway in 1983 Over $500 million worth of development along East Busway Much of this development occurred in Baum - Centre Corridor Expansion of medical sector from its traditional base in Oakland to the Corridor University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Shadyside Hospital

11 New Development in Corridor UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Negley Station with Centre Professional Building in background

12 Development Opportunities in the Baum - Centre Corridor The Baum-Centre Corridor is a key conduit for travel to and within Pittsburgh s East End neighborhoods Proximity to Oakland (Pittsburgh s civic, educational and medical center) and to East End neighborhoods makes this corridor attractive to developers Closure of commercial enterprises and industrial operations has made property available for redevelopment

13 Planning Challenges in the Baum - Centre Corridor Rapid pace of development Large scale development Transforming automobile-oriented commercial strip development to pedestrian- and transit-oriented development Diversity of uses in adjacent communities and in the corridor Unmet neighborhood needs

14 City of Pittsburgh Plan for the Corridor

15 Vision Create a diverse, highquality urban district with easy access to public transportation and neighborhood serving businesses, with Baum Boulevard and Centre Avenue as boulevards.

16 Three Nodes in Corridor

17 North Oakland - Bloomfield

18 Redevelopment in Bloomfield New office and retail development with parking behind building

19 Reuse of Automobile Factories in Bloomfield Former Packard Motor Car Plant Now an Automobile Dealership Former Ford Plant Preservation/Reuse Opportunity

20 Shadyside-Bloomfield- Friendship

21 Development at Negley Station in Shadyside Expansion of Supermarket and New Condos at Negley Station

22 East Liberty

23 Eastside Development under construction East Liberty East Side Mixed Use Development (almost completed) and East Liberty Station First Whole Foods Store in City of Pittsburgh

24 Corridor extending east Nabisco Plant - East Liberty

25 Bakery Square Proposal for Reuse of the Nabisco Plant Preliminary concept subject to revision Courtesy of Walnut Capital

26 Proposal for New Station Serving the Corridor Site for station serving UPMC Hospital Area of potential sites for new station

27 Baum-Centre Initiative Citizens and stakeholders group formed to ensure plan s vision is carried out Comprised of residents from corridor neighborhoods and representatives from UPMC, Port Authority and local businesses A means for citizen input into plans for new development projects in the corridor Developers review project proposals with the group

28 In Conclusion... The Baum Centre Corridor initially developed with an automobile orientation As the corridor matured, many automobileoriented uses closed, creating opportunities for new development The corridor was attractive to developers Growth of the medical sector Corridor s function as a key conduit for access to and within Pittsburgh s East End communities Presence of the East Busway The City s Baum-Centre strategy and the Baum-Centre Initiative citizens group will help to guide development in the corridor
